FARRIERS PINCERS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 601,917, dated April 5, 1898.

Application iiled November 16, 1897. Serial No. 65 8,728. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: o

Be it known that I, HUBERT WAGNER, of Buffalo, in the county of Cass and State of North Dakota, haveinvented a new and 11nproved Farriers Pincers, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The invention relates to pliers or nippers; and the obj ect of the invention is to provide a new and improved farriers pincers arranged to open wide and permit of readily cutting into the fiat surface of an animals foot to remove undesirable .matter,`so asto allow of properly fitting a shoe on the foot of the animal.

The invention consists of novel features, as,

View of the same with the jaws partly closed.

Fig. 3 is a like view of the same with the jaws completely closed, and Fig. 4 is an edge view of the same.

The improved farriers pincers are provided with curved jaws A A', pivotally connected with each other by a pivot B to allow the said` jaws to open or close. The jaws A A are pro'- vided with handles C C', respectively, cross] ing each other back of the pivot B, the said handles being formed with curved portions Q2 C3, respectively, adjacent tothe pivot B Vfor receiving the correspondingly-curved jaws A A', respectively, as is plainly indicated in Fig. l, the said curved portions permitting the vsaid jaws to open very wide, but with the cutting edges of the jaws beyond the fulcrum portions to allow said cutting edges to readily enter into the matter to be removed from an animals foot upon closing the handles C C'. The Y j aws A A' are formed wide enough to pass into the curved portions Cs C2, respectively, to limit the opening of the handles C C' and the jaws A A', as will be readily understood by refernce'to Fig. l. Now by the arrangement described the jaws A A can be opened to readily cut out the desired part to be removed from the hoof'of the animal, it being understood that the handles C C' are opened for this purpose correspondingly to bring the cuttingjaws the desired distance apart.

Having thus fully-described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A device of the class described, comprising a pair of curved jaws pivotally connected with each other, and handles crossing each other at the back of the j aw-pivot and laterally bent to pass by each other, the handles being curved adjacent to the pivot to conform to the curvature of the jaws for receiving the same when the jaws are open, substantially as shown and described.'
